The daily
grind can take its toll on the best of us. Traffic, late for jobs, equipment
not working, what else could go wrong. But letting outside distractions get in
our way is what leads to admission into our Hall of Shame.

Thinking, or better
yet, not thinking about what might have changed in transit or maybe just not
even thinking about that backpack sprayer you just put down in the back of your
truck is what leads to big and expensive problems. Melted backpacks, time off
the job, cost of a new backpack and the embarrassment of missing something so
obvious!

A simple look around can save
you money, headaches and keep you out of our "Hall of Shame."

A quick check prevents problems. We have a technician hall of shame, and this is our masterpiece, our prize possession.

This was a technician who left his Birchmeier backpack too close to his Honda engine and went to go spray, and melted the backpack, spilled three or four gallons of chemical, and cost his company $250 for the backpack, plus he had to drive from where he was to our shop to get another one and drive back.

A quick check of your equipment can prevent these kinds of problems, and that's the key point I want to leave with you.
